14 Town Councillors elected in Whittlesey.
I just wanted to give you all a little update on our monthly radio programme, Town Talk Live, which continues to go from strength to strength and hass attracted a wonderful number of listeners.
Here are our scheduled shows for the remainder of the year:
I notice there are still a few of you who have not yet put your names forward, and we do still have two dates available for this year. Please do consider taking part — there’s really nothing to worry about!
As Barry Wainwright will happily confirm, we are a very friendly bunch and promise not to bite anyone’s head off! 🙂
It would be lovely to hear from you, and I look forward to receiving your replies.
With best wishes,
Matt Page
